2.2 Grouping
Strategy:
Describe the criteria that
will be used to form students’ team and how this maps to the goals of the
project.
Team will comprise groups of 5 students of mixed gender, and mixed

groups so that higher ability students get opportunities for peer
instruction, and lower ability students benefit from the more advanced
collaboration that will arise from this.
